Amada Marvel 8-Mark-III Vertical Tilt-Frame Band Saw I Heavy-Duty Industrial Metal Cutting I 5HP 230V Three Phase I

Amada 8-Mark-III VT4555M Vertical Tilt-Frame Band Saw — Power + Precision for Metal

The Amada 8-Mark-III VT4555M Vertical Tilt-Frame Band Saw is a powerhouse cutting machine engineered for metal fabrication shops that demand precision, strength, and reliability.

This industrial band saw features a 5HP motor, 1.25” wide blade, and a variable-speed inverter (50–450 FPM), giving your operators full control for cutting all types of metal. The ±60° tilt-frame design makes it perfect for miter work, angle cutting, and structural fabrication tasks.

Built with a cast-iron heavy-duty frame, this machine delivers long-term durability and vibration-free cutting performance. The large T-slotted work table provides a stable platform for clamping heavy materials and keeping cuts accurate.
